Is Robert Fripp ever going to get his arse in gear and have the current, surprisingly decent Crimson lineup make a new studio album? Power to Believe wasn't too bad, but it's no place to stop a discography as brilliant as KC's. I've got Radical Action (ALL RECEIPTS ACCOUNTED FOR BOB) and it's very good, but it would be such a crying waste for this lineup to only ever be remembered as a technically gifted tribute band.
For those who haven't seen them in action:

Don't tell me this group aren't capable of making new music.

bumping with slightly rare Fripp
I think he's said he's doing a 12 inch single later this year, so it wouldn't surprise me if an album follows

They have released thirteen albums since the 60's with more classics than non-classics in their discography. Are you really complaining that they're not releasing new music just because their last release wasn't all that crash hot?
OP was spoiled as a kid

Power to Believe was pretty fucking great desu. So was Scarcity of Miracles, if you want to count that one.
Anyhow, I thought Radical Action encapsulated pretty well what the line-up was about. I've seen them live and I don't see what a studio recording could add to the material.
KC live albums tend to outshine their studio counterparts for most eras, anyway.

No, I'm complaining because their last release was *14* years ago, and they currently have a very good lineup. I actually quite like Power to Believe, it's better than the three albums that preceded it.
You are right that they have more classics than non-classics in their discography, though.

I do think that there is a certain vitality that is brought to a group by creating and recording new material, it's something that I found myself in the brief time that I played in a jazz band. Interpreting standards (which is what the KC back catalogue might as well be) can be very rewarding, but it really helps the synergy of a group of players to feel that they have ownership over their own material, and contributed to its creation and not just its interpretation.
A live album would also be acceptable, it needn't necessarily be studio if that poses logistical challenges, but I really want to see "progressive" music that incorporates some of the production and instrumental advances of the last twenty years or so, in the way that past Crimsons have done.

toyah was such a miserable try hard talentless hack why would he marry her? why? is it because he couldn't have kate bush?

Opposites attract, my friend. Although I think the real reason is that despite the fact that she was a punk rocker and he wrote jagged horror music in 13/8 time, all both of them ever really wanted was to live out a Beatrix Potter lifestyle of pastoral bliss, and they have the funds to do so. I say good luck to them.
